The worst hostel I’ve visited in Berlin!.I felt that it was like a dormitory for teenagers, i didn’t even take a shower there because they didn’t have enough towels!!.

The beds and mattress are all of them deformed The staff were all useless, they did not help to assign me another bed even with the room was empty, they did no help when I was going to use the computer. For this reason the staff is a disaster

Not only has this hostel and the sheets never been been cleaned, and not only is the staff the most rude people I have met in my live, but I was ABUSED physically. I was experiencing horrible customer service one night I was locked out of my room and needed help. The receptionist didn't want to let me back into my room. I got angry, and eventually he followed me to my room. On the way up he cursed me in German and threatened not to let me into my room. He was threatening me for a couple minutes before he let me in. After getting in I got more angry and went down to ask for his name (Mohammed Eliasi), but he refused to give it. I took out my phone to film the conversation we had as proof for my complaint because the things he was saying to me were unacceptable and extremely rude. He then HIT my hand so I lost my phone on the ground. I became even more angry and walked up to him, where he HIT ME IN THE FACE TWICE. Then he called the police and told them I had hit him and had them throw me out in the middle of the night without a refund. It was 2 AM and I am a young girl traveling alone. I still have my short video showing the receptionist hitting my hand. The manager refuses to talk to me or give me my refund and is only threatening me over email. In addition to this I paid them to do my white laundry and now everything I own is PINK. This place should be shut down. They are horrible people abusing their power.

You deserve better
Everything was broken and the staff was really unfriendly. Ended up leaving early, with two paid nights left. There is somekind of a wedding place practically downstairs, so good luck trying to sleep in these rooms. Especially when there is no AC. The "kitchen" was so discusting I couldn't even enter it, and the "laundry service" Works only on MONDAYS. Next time I'll just buy a tent and camp in a park If I can't afford any other place.

Good hostel - but someone stole my banana :/
It was a chill hostel, met lots of nice people there. It was just a bit smelly. Someone got their money stolen so just be careful there, they have safes in each room. Someone ate my bananas even though I put a note on them so just be careful as well with the kitchen. Overall it’s a good cheap hostel but don’t expect anything fancy.

Great Stay
Location was excellent. Very close to Checkpoint Charlie, metro station and fast food restaurants. Supermarket right behind the hostel in the same building complex. Friendly service in English. Clean bathrooms. Plenty of shower stalls and washing basins. 2 female toilets on every floor. Kitchens and refrigerators on every floor. Wifi was alright. Large luggage room to store my luggage before check-in time.

The stay was good, worth the price especially because of its impressive location, right in the heart of Berlin. The low availability of power sockets in the dorms did seem a bit of a concern but it could be managed nevertheless. Overall, a nice stay!

This is a very bare-bones hostel. Pros: rooms felt secure with key card entry, lockers are available in the dorms (bring your own padlock), location is quite central, beds were clean Cons: common areas and toilets were not cleaned frequently, there were only two women's toilets and sinks shared between several dorms, facebook log-in was required to access wi-fi

Extremely tacky hostel
I have travelled around Europe and stayed in many different hostels but never in something so dodgy. The hostel is extremely dirty, they hostel staff were extremely impolite. I arrived to the hostel in midnight and only had my Visa card with me which the hostel will not take as the transaction was lower than 20€. The hostel staff told me to go and find an ATM in the area so I asked where the ATM was and he just told me to find it myself and there should be one within 15 minutes away. It is unacceptable.

Room was good and spacious (although the covers were too thin and short), staff were good too. The social area was also good. The mens showers were dreadful; 2 days the hot water was barely luke warm and 3 out of the 4 showers were broken in that they nothing to hang the shower head up on the wall. toilets were a mess one day. in both the showers and toilet the staff had opened the hige windows wide open, it was freezing cold in there second floor, tons of wooden pallets everywhere. Overall an ok budget place for a very short stay, in an ok location.

Get what you pay for
The hostel is clean and well maintained. It is located very close to Checkpoint Charlie and Potsdamer Platz which is another plus. The rooms were OK, we didn't use the kitchen but it was well equipped. The wifi was good. They let us store our luggage before checking in as we had arrived quite early, so it helped us explore the city. Entering into the building was challenge because the signs to the bell wasn't clear at all. Thanks to a friendly resident, we managed to figure out where the bell was.

A diamond in the rough
This place is honestly amazing. The reception staff are phenomenal I came crawling in drunk loads of times and the guys were happy to chat. It is a fantastic way to meet other young travellers which I did and I will miss dearly. The only bad thing about the hostel is the wifi is extremely bad.

Good place to stay on a budget.
Rooms were ok. WC and bathrooms were shared among all people on the floor. It had nice smell in WC. Bathroom was good, except the light sensor (at leas on 2nd floor). It was either cheap or wrongly set. It turns off after 1 minutes while you have shower. Hard to turn on again. Had some difficulties to connect to internet each time (facebook and like requires each time to connect).

Very Good First Impression!
I haven't stay at a Hostel before, but deemed it necessary for my backpacking trip I took. Checked out some good Hostels and this was recommended. The hostel is right near Checkpoint Charlie, so already you can get sightseeing. Rooms and general environment were excellent, its definitely a hostel that has put in effort to become a place to not just sleep but hangout as well. I would definitely come back if i were going solo again.

Don't ask them to do your laundry!
If all you need is a bed then this is a good option for you. Don't ask them to do your laundry because they'll give it back to you damp, smelly, and stuffed in a plastic bag. The refrigerator for the entire floor of at least 64 people was extremely dirty, needed to be defrosted, and was too full for even a couple of our things.

Awesome Service
I was visiting Berlin with my brother and our stay at Check-IN hostel was awesome, thought there was no air conditioning but the weather turned out to be super so we did not need any. The staff was super friendly and nice. And you can just walk to various tourists points from this hostel which was really cool. I hope to stay here again on my next visit to Berlin as well.

Hostel close to Checkpoint Charlie
PROS: -Inexpensive -in Berlin Mitte, also close to Kreuzberg -24 hour reception and friendly staff -Beds were comfortable if squeaky -Nice sitting room with couches, TV, big windows -lockers in the rooms, just have to bring a lock -Private locking showers -Lots of extra services available, like a diner, bike rental, pub crawl CONS: -WiFi was often REALLY SLOW, to the point of being unusable. And I am talking using regular websites, forget Skype -Kitchen was pretty dirty, fridge was not very big, no markers to label food, no bowls (I ate my cereal from a mug) -In my room there was not enough plugs, 4 for the whole room of 8 people, since one by the door didn't work (I didn't know this until I woke up to a dead phone). -Some cleanliness issues, they didn't change the garbage in my room until my last day (I stayed 4 nights), showers and sinks had hair and such. Also the tables in the front sitting room where dirty. -Two of the shower head holders were broken, so you have to shower while holding the wand (difficult to wash hair). Also there are large windows in the WC and shower room, I felt like people could look in. -Some kind of nightclub or event centre right next door, which was pretty loud late into the night. Luckily I am a deep sleeper, but I can see this being an issue for people. Overall I think this hostel was fine, I just wanted a cheap, central place. It could use some improvements, and I’d consider staying there again if the Wifi were only better.
